Drone Soccer – explained

 

Drones have become an integral part of many industries but now it’s been transferred into a sport.

Drone soccer is a new air sport that involves two teams containing five members per team. The main aim is to score the highest number of goals.

Drone Soccer has been included in the FAI Sporting Code as a provisional class (F9A) since 1st May 2019, and the first international tournament - demonstration - took place in November in Korea.

Played both outdoor and indoors in a pre-arranged flying zone, a Drone soccer match consists of three sets and each set lasts three minutes.

According to FAI.org: ‘The drones in play, which are operated by drone pilots standing at either end of the pitch, are encased in protective orbs lit up using colourful LED lights – enabling both players and spectators to easily identify members of the different teams. Only one player on each team – the “striker” – can score by flying his or her drone through the circular goal post placed 3m to 3.5 m above ground. The remaining players must help their striker or prevent the opposition’s ‘striker’ scoring by protecting their goal.

F9A class (Drone Soccer) rules are defined in chapter B of the Volume F9 Radio Control Drone Sport.

The latest trends in Drone Technology Part 2

The drone technology industry has been evolving over the years, and there are several new trends. These trends include enhanced navigation and positioning, Improving payload capacity and development of hybrid drones. Enhanced navigation and positioning One of the biggest developments in drone technology is enhanced navigation and positioning. Many drones now use mapping software to help them navigate safely through an area without crashing into objects or people. This is known as computer vision and is used in a wide range of products from self-driving cars to robots. Drones can also use GPS systems to keep track of where they are in relation to their intended destination. Improved payload capacity The more weight a drone can carry, the more it can do — whether that's flying longer distances or carrying heavier objects such as medical supplies or even people. Some companies are working on adding gyroscopes and other devices that will help keep drones steady when carrying he

The Rise of Air Taxis: Revolutionizing Transportation in Countries

Air taxis, once a concept confined to the realm of science fiction, are now becoming a reality in countries around the world. These innovative vehicles combine the convenience of a taxi with the speed and flexibility of an aircraft, promising to revolutionize the way we travel. In this blog post, we will explore the efforts made by various countries to implement and embrace this futuristic transportation technology. 1. Israel Israel is leading the way in the implementation of air taxis. Recently, the Israeli government has approved trials of air taxis in the country, and numerous companies have sprung up to provide these services. The goal is to alleviate traffic congestion and provide more efficient transportation by rapidly transporting people through the air. Companies like Urban Aeronautics and EVTOL are in the lead of such efforts, with Urban Aeronautics developing a compact version of its Cormorant unmanned vehicle that can carry up to two people, while EVTOL is partnering wi

Tando - Indoor Robotics Security Drone

Drones are rapidly becoming a popular tool in the security services sector. A security robotic drone is a specialized drone that can be used to survey large areas, monitor security threats, and collect data autonomously. The indoor robotics tando drone is a self-navigating AI-based robot drone that offers a secure and convenient way to monitor different areas of an office, retail space, warehouse and/or data centres. This advanced drone allows users to explore, discover, inspect and interact with their surroundings remotely which is a completely new form of surveillance service. Equipped with a multiple of sensors and cameras to help it navigate tight spaces, it can be controlled with an app or by voice commands. It is also equipped with an array of features such as obstacle avoidance, autonomous navigation and object recognition, so it can avoid collisions. The Tando drone can be used to monitor any room or space to identify any intruders, security breaches, safety issues, potential h
